Three Britons Face Death Penalty in Bali Drug Case

Three British nationals, Lisa Stocker, Jon Collyer, and Phineas Float, are on trial in Bali, Indonesia, accused of attempting to smuggle nearly 1kg of cocaine disguised as Angel Delight dessert mix. Stocker and Collyer were arrested at Bali’s airport on February 1 after officials found cocaine in their luggage, while Float was arrested days later for allegedly receiving the packages. All three maintain their innocence, claiming they were framed and unaware the packets contained drugs, with Stocker stating a UK friend gave her the items. Indonesian prosecutors allege the couple previously made two similar trips and that Collyer was paid for travel expenses, which he denies. The trio faces the death penalty or life imprisonment if convicted under Indonesia's strict anti-narcotics laws. The case has attracted significant attention in the UK due to the severity of the charges and the defendants' claims.
